About Fêtes de Saint-Pierre-du-Mont
Fêtes de Saint-Pierre-du-Mont — edition 2026
The Saint-Pierre-du-Mont 2026 Festivities take place from Thursday, June 11 to Sunday, June 14, for four days of popular celebrations at the gates of Mont-de-Marsan. Organized by the Comité des Fêtes, the 2026 edition marks the return of the scooter race, launches the new Course des Pitchouns (reserved for ages 8 and up) and offers the traditional festival walk on a 7 km route through the commune. Landes races in the arenas, bandas, associative meals, concerts and family entertainment punctuate this emblematic event of life in the Landes region.
2026 Edition — from Thursday, June 11 to Sunday, June 14
For the 2026 edition, the Saint-Pierre-du-Mont Comité des Fêtes is rolling out a particularly rich program spread over four days, from Thursday, June 11 to Sunday, June 14. The festivities traditionally open on Thursday evening with the Tennis Club's grand bingo at the Salle du Temps Libre, before building in intensity with Friday's sports races, Saturday's family entertainment, and Sunday's grand bullfighting weekend.
New for 2026
- Course des Pitchouns — new event dedicated to children aged 8 and over, free (registration via Helloasso)
- Return of the scooter race — event back with a new online registration formula via Helloasso, accessible from age 5, still free
- Festival Walk — 7 km route to discover the commune, organized by the Comité des Fêtes
Four days, four atmospheres
The program alternates sporting moments (trail and walk on Saturday morning, cycling race on Friday evening), bullfighting events (Landes races under the aegis of the Fédération Française de la Course Landaise, whose headquarters are in Saint-Pierre-du-Mont), musical entertainment (music school concert, bandas, stages, Gésiers en Salade concert) and shared meals (moules-frites karaoke meal, Sunday meal animated by Juventud, food trucks).
The Landes spirit just a stone's throw from Mont-de-Marsan
These festivities, organized by a committee founded in 1982 and boasting an internal bullfighting commission since 2022, embody Saint-Pierre-du-Mont's attachment to Gascon traditions. They precede by a few weeks the famous Fêtes de la Madeleine in neighboring Mont-de-Marsan, in a more intimate village atmosphere — white and red attire recommended to join the "festayre" spirit.

The Fêtes de Saint-Pierre-du-Mont: the festival at the gates of the prefecture
Saint-Pierre-du-Mont, a town of over 10,000 inhabitants bordering Mont-de-Marsan, organizes its local festivals every June, a festive event eagerly awaited by residents and neighboring towns. For four days, from Thursday to Sunday, the town center transforms into a festive venue with a rich and varied program, true to Landes traditions.
Landes races and bullfighting tradition
The Landes races are at the heart of the Fêtes de Saint-Pierre-du-Mont program. In the town's arenas, the 'écarteurs' (bull dodgers) and 'sauteurs' (jumpers) compete in skill and bravery against Landes cows, in a spectacle accompanied by local 'bandas'. These formal races, overseen by the French Federation of Landes Racing, attract passionate spectators from all over the Landes region.
Original sports activities
The Fêtes de Saint-Pierre-du-Mont stand out for their original sports activities. The scooter race is a fun and spectacular event that brings together young and old in the town's forum. The cycling race through the town's streets attracts local riders in an urban circuit enlivened by the crowds lining the course. Petanque tournaments and traditional games complete the sports program.
Meals, bandas, and festive evenings
The festival meals, organized by local associations, punctuate the four days of festivities. From barbecues to grills and traditional moules-frites (mussels and fries), these outdoor gatherings are moments of sharing and conviviality. The bandas parade through the streets, leading the revelers in a joyful musical atmosphere. The evenings are filled with popular dances, concerts, and music stages until the early morning.
A complete family program
The Fêtes de Saint-Pierre-du-Mont place great importance on family activities. Children's games, inflatable structures, creative workshops, and street performances are offered throughout the weekend. The bingo organized by the tennis club on Thursday evening kicks off the festivities in good spirits, with many prizes to be won.
An event driven by associative life
The dynamism of the associative life in Saint-Pierre-du-Mont is the driving force behind these festivals. The festival committee, sports clubs, cultural associations, and volunteers mobilize to offer a high-quality festive program. This collective energy makes the Fêtes de Saint-Pierre-du-Mont a highlight of community life, just before the Fêtes de la Madeleine in Mont-de-Marsan.
